They looked to be spot on but when I went to fit them in the grey plug atop of the fuse box they were like a fag paper too big.

I then took the other side terminals out of the plug and put each togeather under heat shrink tube.

I then connected the other end as per Chris's photos, connected the autoleads unit and I had steering wheel audio controls, also fitted the DAB/analouge ariel splitter and I now have Planet Rock, BBC7 and talk sport in digital.

Only problem is the bulk of the autoleads gear is making it difficult to locate the head unit so I need to adapt this slightly.
I did all this without removing the dash so if you need to you can put yours back in.
